That was the sweetest prayer! I know is was not intended for me but I really
enjoyed reading it. Your words lifted my spirit and I want to thank you.
I had my CT scan today and got a preliminary reading on it, the Dr. who read
it was very kind and said that with just a prelim reading, there was no
evidence of tumors etc. Again they are pointing their fingers to adhesions
being the cause of my pain but told me final results would take another
day.
As painful and frustrating as adhesions are, at least they are not cancer.
My husband was delighted and immediately thanked God. We then stopped by the
gastro office and were told the next step is to see a surgeon. My fear is
that the one they referred me to, is NOT a name I have heard of on this
site. He is a general surgeon at Stanford, Calif. and good at many other
surgeries, but I am not sure about this kind.
Another name that was given to me is another surgeon at Stanford who
specializes in Endometriosis and adhesions, at least that is what the nurse
told me.
As you can imagine, I am NO hurry to have any more surgeries and the thought
of using someone who is not recommended by others here, scares me terribly.
Times like these send mixed emotions, thankfulness and joy that it was
nothing more serious, but also frustration and sadness that the pain I live
with day to day will remain indefinately.
In Friendship,
Natalie
